COSMOS 250 T.K.S.

A robust shield for your seeds

When it comes to crop establishment, cutting costs on seed treatment is a gamble you don't want to take. "KOSMOS 250 T.C.S." acts as an insurance policy for your fields. With fipronil as its active ingredient, the product creates a protective barrier around the seed, shielding it from wireworms, cutworms, and flea beetles during the most vulnerable germination stage. In practice, this means even fields with high pest pressure show excellent emergence without the gaps typically caused by soil dwellers.

Field Application Experience

The product comes as a flowable concentrate suspension, which is a gold standard for our seed treatment equipment. It does not clog nozzles, ensures even distribution, and stays attached to the seed coat without dusting off during the loading process into the seeders. We have found it highly effective for sugar beet, rapeseed, corn, and sunflower. The systemic effect ensures the protection moves with the plant, guarding against Swedish flies during early development.

Key Operational Advantages:

• Dual Action: Combines contact and systemic properties, targeting pests both on the surface and within the root zone.
• Global Quality Standard: Whether produced at the BASF plants in France, the USA, Italy, or Germany, the formulation remains consistently high-quality.
• Equipment Efficiency: The preparation's consistency allows for smooth operation of treatment lines, minimizing downtime for cleaning or adjustments.

Being a class 2 hazardous substance, it requires strict adherence to safety protocols, but the results speak for themselves. "KOSMOS 250 T.C.S." by BASF Agro B.V. is not just an insecticide; it is a critical component of modern agronomy that ensures you start your season with confidence, minimizing the need for later-stage insecticidal sprays.
